The Best Year Ever!

Yesterday Dave and I celebrated being married for one year! Since our anniversary was on Sunday, we spent part of Saturday celebrating too. We went candlepin bowling. It's very similar to 10 pin bowling, but the ball is about the size of a botchy ball, weighing about 2-3 pounds. And the pins are not curved, just tall and skinny. And they're not staggered like bowling pins are---so you can only hit one row if you throw it straight on. It makes getting a strike impossible, in my opinion :). Candlepin bowling is only in parts of Canada and New England area. So it was fun to try it!

So after we went bowling we went to what we now are calling our favorite restaurant, Bertucci's. It's delicious Italian food. And they have amazing rolls. Plus they gave us free dessert for our anniversary :)

Then we just came home and watched the movie "RED". It's a pretty funny movie. Oh and we ate some Oreo Mud Pie that I made for Dave. Oh, and we both got each other movies as a present (great minds think alike!).

On Sunday morning, our actual anniversary, I went downstairs and Dave had red and white roses on the table for me :)   He surprised me since it was Sunday. He had hid them at our friends house (smart man!).

The rest of the day was great, just church and I made a pot roast for dinner. And our home teachers came (first time that has happened since we've been married). So it was great!

Dave and I are both amazed at how much more we love each other now than we did a year ago. We didn't know it was possible! But it's definitely true. We've made a lot of big changes together so far, and we're so close to being parents now. It's crazy. But I look forward to it. And I'm glad I have Dave with me now and forever to share life with. He is so much greater than what I imagined my husband would be. I feel very blessed.

Please notice the water pitcher, it was my favorite part!! Love you Dave!!
